Malaysia, a country just beside Singapore, started to show problem 5hours pior to this message & still down.

Most of the time when I try to log in my account steam just disappear from view after I enter my username & password. Sometimes (1 out of 4) it manage to log in to steam user interface but showed a "no connection" at the center bottom of the window.

Most game can play but Teamfortress 2 warn me of steamcloud problems that might wipe out my saves. And of course no friend lists.

Good thinking, however we actually do have the same ISP's! :mad:

I have no idea how steam's authentication and account data retrieval works, but if your account data were to be stored on two seperate servers, and one of those servers was online, while the other wasn't, that would explain it. I'm pretty sure the regional stuff is only for downloads/steamcloud, and not for your account/friends network stuff.

For the rest of us out here in the ♥♥♥♥ end of the English-speaking world... I give it a day.

What is strange, though, is that I can log into my Steam Community and view my friends' status, but my actually friends list doesn't work.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG..... WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Look at all the people saying "Up now" or "all fine in Greece now" for instance. I know I dropped out and all and settled for a GED but Greece isn't in America...is it?

Steam isn't down right now, and hasn't been down all day. If you're having troubles, then it's either on your end or between you and Steam. One easy way to verify this is to examine the number of connected users at the stats site (http://store.steampowered.com/stats/). At the moment, more than 2.8 million people are connected. If Steam were down, that number would be lower.

Just for the sake of saying it, Steam hasn't been down for me in a long, long time. I actually can't even remember the last time it happened. Couple of years ago at least. The forums are a different story though and for a couple months recently it was pretty bad.
What do you guys mean by down anyway? You mean you can't load the Steam client and play your games except in offline mode?
Or do you mean that the chat and all that other friends stuff isn't working?
I don't use any of that, so maybe that's why I never see it down.

Back online, but Steam doesn't seem to handle reconnecting well.

Thanks for the screen shot - that's a straight-up bug. I will check it out.

I get the following when I try to connect to any game server today for a little CS:S.

Disconnected: This steam account does not own this game. Please login to the correct steam account.

Obviously, the steam credentials server is not serving properly. Oddly enough, I can start my own listenserver and play just fine.

Is there any plan to fix this soon? Surely I'm not the only one having this issue?

im getting a No Connection message at the bottom of Steam

I just bought some games about an hour ago and could not load my whishlist again, now it gives that message at the bottom.

I can play TF2 through Xfire but it boots me after a few minutes because i can't connect to Steam.

I'm in Victoria Australia is this some planned downtime or some weird bug?

Yes, this. Look in the downtime announcement thread, people.

Would be awesome if Steam had a status page(status.steampowered.com) so I could see if the issue was with Steam or with my connection easier.

A good example of what it should look like is this (http://status.aws.amazon.com/)

Is there a problem with Steam now? I am in Poland and I get "could not connect to steam network" - my friend has the same problem (different ISP) so it is not just me. I cannot do anything because after displaying "could not connect to steam network", Steam client quits, co I can't even switch to offline mode, which makes this mode pointless since it is unusable at the moment when it would be most useful.

If your servers are back up, why am I getting the message when I go to Play BattleFied 2 BC, Battlefield 2 Bad Company is unavailable at this time try again later.

Steam's servers are down and the forum moderators are locking all threads that attempt to discuss it.
Who knows, maybe Illuminati owns Steam now. Nah.
Anyway, unscheduled maintenance is just... unscheduled. Tho, it'd be nice if we get some sort of information in the first place.

I have no connection either; I wanted to make a trade too. TF2 updates today, which is odd.

i have other issues: 2 games are deleted from my library (legally purchased from steam, one is Dirt other i don't know), I have 2 games that are listed 2 times (tf classic, cod: mw2 mp), I can't acces to the steam community (impossibile to find profile or connection problem error), I can't see the "News" (No feeds configured.)

WTF Steam O_o

En Taro Adun, Terrans.

Intelligence reports from short time ago show that Steam is your primary source of power, so we decided to shut it down. Please surrender your planet to the Holy Protoss Fleet, and no harm will be done. We are currently in negotiations with your global leader Ban ki-Moon.

What are you talking about? The world ends next friday, the 21. Harold Camping told so. But he probably miscalculated it again as he did the last 3 times(May 21 1988, September 6 1994 and May 21 2011).

Steam is offline pretty often IMO. I may at times wait several weeks between each time I'm playing, yet the chance of it going down that day is pretty big. If it didn't affect the games, fine, but since it does it's a little irritating.

Damn it, just saw Far Cry for £2.49...

AND CAN NOT BUY.

Damn, I know what you mean. I saw the Tomb Raider games at %66 off, I wanted to buy two of them but alas, no joy. Better still be there when it's back. Otherwise what's the point.

You know there has being 60 predictions to the end of the world and they all have one thing in common - they never came true. I wanted to buy some games and now i cant this sucks.Does steam even have PR or is it just a faceless entity.

Its a horrible joke they are playing on us. They show us games at 66% off and 75% off, and we cannot buy them, because Steam never wanted to really give them to us in the first place.;)
